This study investigated the growth performance of chili hot pepper (Capsicum frutescens) under various experimental treatments. The objective was to determine the impact of different ratio of rabbit to the growth performance of chili hot pepper in terms of plant height, number of flowers, number of undeveloped fruits and yield. This research underwent three treatments with three replication each treatment, treatment 1 was the control group with pure distilled water, treatment 2 which had a ratio of 1 liter of rabbit urine and 5 liters of distilled water, and treatment 3 which had 2 liters of rabbit urine and 5 liters of distilled water.
The study was conducted in Amityville, San Jose, Montalban, Rizal, from September 2024 to January 2025, and involved a total of 54 chili hot peppers.
The result showed an overview of the growth performance of chili hot pepper. The plant height was measured at the end of the research. Flower counts were recorded throughout the flowering period and was recorded per week. The number of undeveloped flowers was also recorded per week. Yield was determined by measuring the weight of harvested fruits per plant. This research showed that treatment 2 with a ratio of 1 liter of rabbit urine and 5 liters of distilled water has a higher output than the control group under treatment 3.
This study on the effect of rabbit urine to the growth performance of chili hot pepper had used one way ANOVA to compare different treatments conducted, showed that there was no significant effect to the growth performance of chili hot

pepper in terms of average plant height, number of flowers, number of undeveloped flowers and yield.
The research result showed that treatment 2 had the highest outcome in terms of height with an 86.38 centimeter, followed by treatment 3 with 81.17 centimeter, and lastly treatment 1 with 66.00 centimeter. In terms of number of flower treatment 2 has the highest outcome with 47.11average pieces followed by treatment 3 with 29.77 average pieces and lastly treatment 1 with an average piece of 16. when it comes to the number of undeveloped flowers the result showed that treatment 3 had the highest result with an 3.20 average pieces followed by treatment 2 with a average of 2.35 and treatment 1 with an average of 1.71. In terms of yield the highest outcome was treatment 2 with an average gram of 104.83 followed by treatment 3 with a 65.67 average grams and treatment 2 with 33.33 average grams.
The researcher recommended to create a new ratio of distilled water and rabbit urine, use tap water to reduce the high cost of materials and gain profit, use the rabbit urine in different subject plants, extend the duration of the experiment and market the product in bulk and equal the price to the local market.
